Real Weddings: Glamour on the Mountain at The St. Regis

Danielle Kasirer & Jaime Schwartz – 7.3.16

THE COUPLE
Jaime (a plastic surgeon) and Danielle (a preschool teacher) met on a blind date. The Los Angelenos dated for seven months before Jaime popped the question over the Fourth of July weekend. He proposed to Danielle with Champagne and roses in the same spot they subsequently were married a year later: The St. Regis Deer Valley.

THE WEDDING
“Deer Valley holds a special place in my heart,” says Danielle. “My family has been going there for over 20 years.” Danielle and Jaime hosted a welcome dinner at St. Regis’ Deer Crest Club on Friday. On Saturday, all guests attended the Deer Valley Music Festival (featuring the Utah Symphony) and after the concert, everyone enjoyed drinks, dessert and dancing at The Spur on Park City’s Main Street. Sunday’s ceremony included religious articles that belonged to their grandfathers. “We had two talitot that belonged to both of my late grandfathers to adorn the top of the chuppah,” Danielle says. “And we used Jaime’s late grandfather’s tallit to be wrapped in.”

THE MOOD
“We wanted an elegant rustic theme,” Danielle explains. Dahlias, garden roses, lisianthus, ranunculus and blushing brides decorated centerpieces and bouquets. Five crystal chandeliers dangled from the rafters of a clear-sided tent, and candle-filled hurricanes flickered on the tops of long farm tables.

THE TUNES
Danielle’s three-year-old son Oliver played a large part in the festivities. “Jaime and I considered the wedding to be about the three of us becoming a family,” Danielle says. “Because of that, Oliver had a part in our first dance and he was lifted up on a chair during the horah. That was his favorite part.” The Party Crashers, a local band, performed live. Rascal Flatts’ “Bless the Broken Road” introduced the newlyweds’ first dance.

MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT
“The first look,” Jaime describes. “I didn’t realize how emotional it would be.”
